My 508T is a few degrees counterclockwise as well but since I don't use the circle recticle, it doesn't really matter to me. I've only put a couple hundred through mine with just the dot on, though...

Mine looks canted... but when I use my other eye it looks canted in the other direction. I think my brain is canted.

Well my 507c-gr failed on it's first trip to the range today. Worked for about 3 mags then the reticle disappeared after I sat it down to reload. Turned it back on shot one more mag and set it down. Reticle gone and wouldn''t shake awake. Turned it on again it remembered the setting it switched to bright. Worked for another mag and went dark again. Got home removed it cleaned battery and batter compartment with alchohol and reinstalled. Turned it on reticle appeared for about 30 seconds then disappeared. It's on a Tanfoglio Witness Pro 10mm slide melt.
Called warranty department and got "mailbox full' after it told me to leave a message. I then went to the website and filled out the form pressed send got "Failure try again later". Sooooo I sent them and email we will see what happens. NOT happy so far. |

In HoloSun's defense, this is a really, really shitty time to be trying to contact anyone at any business, let alone a Chinese one. Give them some time before blowing up at them, is all I could suggest.

Totally different experience with Burris. Kudos to them for their responses.

You shouldn’t have to replace the battery on a new RDS, but who knows what it came with, or how long that battery has been sitting in a warehouse. |

You tried to contact Burris in the last couple of days? And got a human, RMA, etc?

Got an email from them yesterday evening suggesting the battery change. If that didn't work email them for a return order and they have a replacement in about a week. What caused concern was the website rejection and the "mailbox full"

I've heard from multiple sources that you should only really use Duracell batteries in any slide-mounted optics, because even Energizer and Sony batteries tend to shit the bed under that type of stress. Also curious, did the guy who sent his 508T in off his 1301 wound up getting the 508T v2 yet? Is there a definitive date for the release yet? |

Battery changes (Duracell or otherwise) did NOT solve the problem. Issue just resurfaced a range visit or two later, or even with just dry firing. I initiated a warranty repair (don’t even bother with their website, just send a direct email) and they’re sending me a replacement instead. Sent my broken one (they sent me a prepaid label fwiw) in at the beginning of March just before everything started going full lockdown with the virus. Admittedly not the best time to send something in for warranty review. I was quoted about 3-4 weeks for a replacement as they were waiting on a shipment of V2’s. Replacement should be here today in fact. They’ve still got a ways to go in terms of making the warranty process painless for the customer, but in the end I’m getting a new V2 with no cost to me. I already own a V2 and I think the new side loading battery tray is a much better design. Can’t overtighten it and screw up the battery contacts like you can with the V1. Well we’ll see how the V2 fares in the coming months as they become more widespread. |

They won’t be tall enough for all slides, though. Brownells are cut as deep as it looks like they can be. I believe Zev slides are also cut to the same depth. |

I had a 507, brand new, the reticle was canted, sent it back. Waited 2+ months for a replacement, it's fine I get it, coronavirus, wasnt mad. They upgraded me to a 508t V2, I appreciated that. Now I've got a 508t V2, I've just been carrying it in my holster and where the side of the soptic contacts my undershirt, the finish has already worn off exposing bare metal. The reticle will randomly step down significantly in brightness as well, usually a couple seconds after a draw.

Can you post pics of the finish? |

This is just from rubbing against my under shirt. It's not contacting kydex at all.
https://ibb.co/d4qznSh The finish also comes off on my thumb. |

It's weird, those look like little dings or scratches but they rub right off. Along with the finish.

I am really loving the 508tv2, the reticle options are sick. The controls are sick. I just wish it had a better finish. As long as this doesnt make it rust I will be ok with it. I dont wanna be without out, especially the way things are. Gonna keep it and deal with it. Maybe I can have it cerakote or something later. |

The manual for my 508t V2 says counterclockwise raises the dot as does the body of the rds but actually that's wrong, turning it clockwise raises the reticle and I confirmed this today when zeroing. Not a big deal to me, it's a nice sight and I've accepted the finish wear because I know I'll beat it up in training anyway.
